very annoying little jQuery problem

hey guys, iv been doing this new site for my uncle and i want to toggle the text box on the page to show and hide the picture behind. iv been stuck on this for ages and im getting a bit frustrated so i wondered if anyone can help!

it pains me to admit that i didnt know that before posting.. it still doesnt work even now though, when i changed them! im thinking it might have something to do with the slideshow jquery or something?!

You have to be careful regarding the order in which you load external .js files. The way you are doing it right now, you are trying to use jQuery methods before even having loaded jQuery. Just load your own script last, after having loaded all the framework stuff, and not first, like you are doing now.

Also, use a Javascript debugger, like Firebug. If your scripts are dying silently you won't ever have a chance of finding out why they won't work.
